[QUOTE="ltcharles, post: 8507505, member: 669730"] According to Alpine the sub is 500watts rms per coil. Now your amp is 500watts at 14v at 2ohms and 300watts at 4ohms at 14v. Not 350. So if we wire your sub to utilize both coils 4ohm's you would be running at roughly 150 watts per coil. Or You can run one coil at 2ohm's and get 300 watts to a single coil. Although from what i hear in the forums that is not advisable. Wont really hurt the sub much. I say sell the amp and get an amp that runs stable at 1 ohms like SD, American Bass, RE and so on. Now if you want to stick with alpine only to match your gear then the pdx or mrx series will give more juice. Though at that price you can buy something beefier from another maker. [/QUOTE]
